Based on Louisa May Alcott's classic 1869 semi-autobiographical novel, it focuses on the four March sisters- aspiring writer Jo, romantic Meg, pretentious Amy, and kind-hearted Beth-and their beloved Marmee, at home in Concord, Massachusetts while their father is away serving as a Union Army Chaplain during the Civil War. Intercut with vignettes which show how their lives unfold are several recreations of the melodramatic short stories Jo writes in her attic studio.

Boasting a large cast, roles available are:

Jo March - A passionate young woman. This is her story and her journey. The story centers around her life, from the Christmas that it all started, to the writing of Little Women and her engagement to Professor Bhaer.

Laurie (Theodore Laurence III) - The young boy-next-door that is the same age as Jo. He loves Jo dearly during Act One, but quickly is rejected when he proposes. He later travels to Europe and bonds with Amy, with whom he falls in love and marries.

Meg - The oldest sister. She yearns for a great life. She marries John Brooke and has twins later in Act II.

Amy - The youngest sister with a rather pompous manner, and by that, she rides into society. She marries Laurie in Act II.

Beth - The second youngest sister. Unfortunately, she dies of Scarlet Fever in Act II. She is a peace-maker, and always sees the good in everyone.

Marmee - The strong mother. She is the backbone of the family. Her songs show how truly trying this is.
